A comment on Why is DNS still hard to learn?.

The question I have is:

Why isn't there a combined MTA/DKIM/DNS server ?

Why am I installing and configuring and running and monitoring all of these different server software packages ?

I'd like to have a single config file that handles everything required to run a mailserver.

If I have more complex needs I can split things up make them modular ... but I don't.

If the nameserver was part of the MTA, where would you configure a CNAME for your webserver?

I think the kids call that Ansible. :)
